The prineiples and practice in other professions are very similar in different parts of the Empire, but in the case of sub-dividing the public lands for settlement, the methods followed are very different. Yet although there is always a certain interest in comparing different ways of gaining the same ends, and though the subdivision of the uninhabited parts of the Empire for settlement is a matter of the highest importance, yet individual surveyors have very little knowledge of the system pursued in other countries than their own, and possibly the following remarks (grown much longer than at first intended) on the methods carried out in Canada, may at least awaken a comparison between those methods which are a daily part of the life of Australian surveyors, and those elsewhere adopted to gain much the same end.","PeriodicalId":330051,"journal":{"name":"Surveyor magazine","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1911-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129763148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As this is the class whom the writer wishes to interest and from whom be would invite comment and expressions of opinion, he is glad to avail himself of the opportunity of contributing these notes, and would tender bis thanks to the Council for extending to him the privillege of doing so. At the same time, as he gives some account of work in countries outside Australia, and incidentally touches upon the functions of the land surveyor in his relation to railway work, he trusts that members other than engineers may find something to interest them.","PeriodicalId":330051,"journal":{"name":"Surveyor magazine","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1910-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125638628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
